Nicola becomes the unwilling participant in a menage-a-trois when
Maggie succumbs to Rodney. Zak contrives a foolproof plan to get Peg
off his hands. Chris challenges Zoe's treatment. Written by Matthew
Westwood.

Nicola is furious to find out that Rodney has agreed to write Maggie's
reference as well. To add to her disgust, Rodney and Maggie are openly
flirtatious in front of her. Recognising the glint in Rodney's eye,
Nicola fears that he may favour her rival in the race for the Dale Park
Manager's job. She takes it upon her self to find the references to
see what she's up against. While Nicola is busy snooping through Rodney's
paper work, she is alarmed to hear familiar voices entering the B&B.
As Rodney and Maggie pour themselves generous drinks, Nicola is trapped
and forced to hide under the bed. As the drinks continue to flow, Rodney
steps up his flirtatious behaviour, insisting he would like to be more
than just friends. With her career in mind Maggie obliges as Rodney
invites her to the bedroom. Nicola is horrified as they enter and strip
off with her still under the bed.

Having decided they are both unhappy with their current living situation,
Peg and Zak join forces as they come up with a seemingly foolproof plan
to scam their relatives. Having proved her wonderful acting skills,
they agree to pretend Peg has won a huge sum on a prize draw, in the
hope that Marilyn and Elvis will take her back. But they will need proof
of the winning to convince their wily relatives. Zak recruits Rodney
to act as the prize giver as he takes a photo of the presentation of
the fake cheque.

The morning after the night before and Maggie is dumbfounded by her
own behaviour, having slept with Rodney. Hungover, she confesses her
sins to an equally shocked Chloe. Although Nicola is dishevelled and
exhausted, she is determined to get her own back on Maggie for putting
her through such an ordeal. She sets off to find Phil and wastes no
time filling him in on all the sordid details of the affair.

On her return from the interview, Maggie is upbeat to find Phil home
early. It is fairly obvious that he isn't in the slightest bit interested
in whether she has got the job. As the accusations fly, Maggie flounders
and her reaction confirms the truth. Phil feels utterly betrayed after
all he gave up for her.

Later in the Woolpack, the repercussions of the one night stand become
violent as emotions run high. As Phil hits Rodney, Maggie turns her
attention to Nicola. A brawl breaks out, much to the amusement of the
rest of the pub.

Things appear to going to plan for Zak and Peg, as Elvis is quick to
arrive at the mention of Peg's new found wealth. But a trip to the pub
to celebrate proves Zak's undoing. Elvis recognises Rodney from the
prize giving photo and realises he's been conned. Foiled, Peg and Zak
are back to square one.

As the distance between Scott and Chloe grows, the affection from their
relationship is lost. Will they ever regain the trust they have lost,
or are their attentions starting to wander elsewhere?
